Lyrics
I know that my heart is given to You
But in my case, all I do is give and give
Now baby, what does it take for me to get my turn?
All the love that I deserve
It must have been the rain that put me in this mood
To think about the joy and pain that I shared with You
I never would complain but something's happened
To the sensitive and gentle man that I thought I knew
Where do we go from here?
To separate ain't gonna solve the problem
'Cause You should know by now what it takes to make it right
So if You really care the way You say You do about me
Then all I ask of You
(Do unto me as I do unto You)
You got to give your all, baby nothing else will do
(Give love to me as I give it to You)
That's all I ask of You
Now I've been understanding when You come home late
But baby, when the tables turn You want me home by eight, no, no
If You can have a best friend who's a pretty girl
But when You see me with the guys You're jealous
When You don't have a reason to be
And when it gets this bad, I know the words ain't gonna make it better
'Cause You should know by now what it takes to make it right
So if You really care the way you say You do about me
Then all I ask of You, oh baby
(Do unto me as I do unto You)
You got to give your all, baby nothing else will do
(Give love to me as I give it to You)
Ooh baby, that's all I ask of You
Oh baby, You can count on me day and night
To be the strength and comfort in your eyes
I only want for me is to be right here by my side
So You've got to be faithful to me and have nothing to hide
(Do unto me as I do unto You)
That's all I ask of You
(Give love to me as I give it to You)
Don't You know
I'll give You respect and I'll be your girl (be your girl)
Baby, in return I expect the world (the world)
Ever You to do unto me (as I do unto You)
Trust is everything if you feel the same (feel the same)
Baby, what we got is a fair exchange (exchange)
True love is all I need to keep on fanning the flame
That's all I ask of You
(Do unto me as I do unto You)
Oh baby, nothing in this whole wide world would do
(Give love to me as I give it to You)
Do unto me as I do unto You, oh baby
(Do unto me as I do unto You)
